**************************************
: A little earthquake in Austria yesterday at 8:49 a.m. EST--
: https://m.emsc.eu/earthquake/earthquake.php?evid=650257
: Friday February 23, 2018 (today) is 47060 days (181 times 260)
: since Saturday April 20, 1889 when Adolf Hiter was born in
: North-Central Austria, near the border with Germany. Today,
: day 46th/260 is "7 Death", and is also the same
: in the 260-day count as Monday July 16, 1945 when the first
: Atomic Bomb detonated at Alamogordo New Mexico at 6:29:21
: a.m. EST, and, unaware it was "Mayan" day "7
: Death"--
: "...Oppenheimer later recalled that, while witnessing the
: explosion, he thought of a verse from the Hindu holy book,
: the Bhagavad Gita (XI,12):
: कालोऽस्मि
: लोकक्षयकृत्प्रवृद्धो
: लोकान्समाहर्तुमिह
: प्रवृत्तः।
: ऋतेऽपि
: त्वां न
: भविष्यन्ति
: सर्वे
: येऽवस्थिताः
: प्रत्यनीकेषु
: योधाः॥११-
: ३२॥
: "If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once
: into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty
: one..."
: "Years later he would explain that another verse had also
: entered his head at that time: "We knew the world
: would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people
: cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from
: the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita; Vishnu is trying to
: persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to
: impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says,
: 'NOW I AM BECOME DEATH, THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS.'
: "I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."
: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_ (nuclear_test)
: That nuclear explosion of July 16, 1945 was 79 times 260 days
: after Hitler's birth April 20, 1889 and 102 times 260 days
: before today February 23, 2018.
: Interestingly, an historic earthquake struck Utah on the
: morning of April 20, 1891...(and then again on April 20,
: 1991)

: "Quite a sensation was caused this morning, at ten
: minutes before seven, by a rumbling noise resembling
: distant thunder, or, as some say, more like a distant train
: of cars, accompanied by a shaking of the earth, which was
: felt most severely by those in or near to a building.
: "It shook houses and made windows rattle and caused a
: queer sensation to pass through the whole human system,
: some said like that of sea-sickness. Others say the feeling
: was like that produced by an electric shock. It was a
: cloudless morning, and yet quite hazy. In fact the whole
: atmosphere looked as though the sun was in a partial
: eclipse.
: "I do not think that the sound of a bugle ever called an
: army out of bed all at the same instant as this earthquake
: rustled those out who were engaging in a nap this morning.
: Some women were seen running out of doors in their night
: dresses. They were filled with wonder and some degree of
: fear.
: "Nervous children were seen clinging to their parents,
: and quite a number of scenes were enacted at one and the
: same time, in this city. I have not heard of any damage
: being done. This has been a very curious spring for this
: climate. Some days quite warm but very cold at nights, and
: a very hot season generally.
: "Yesterday morning, April 19, we had ice here as thick as
: common window glass. The apricots are all killed and most
: of the almonds. The grapes are not far enough advanced to
: be injured much yet. Pears and apples are not hurt a great
: deal."
: "William Atkin,"
: "St. George, April 20, 1891"
: [Deseret Evening News; April 24, 1891]
: ...and again, a significant earthquake in Utah on the morning
: of April 20, 1991...

: ...the next day April 21, 1991 General Schwarzkopf arrived in
: Tampa Florida to a hero's welcome:

: Not 260 days after the "Trinity" nuclear test, but
: 259 days after, a massive magnitude 8.6 earthquake
: (containing much more power than the nuclear bomb test)
: struck near Alaska at 7:29:01 a.m. EST Monday April 1, 1946
: and created a tsunami which killed 159 people in Hawaii.
